we got 39000 v west ham with 4 selling days and on a monday night, 46000 v arsenal in the league cup on a wednesday night, 38000 v tottenham on a wednesday night, and 47000 v hamburg also midweek, all 1/4 finals.
so considering you say there is no evidence, i would suggest quite the opposote.
There's an arguement on both sides here.
I'm sure any decent marketeer would tell us all that you that customer trends are always changing and therfore relying on too much past data is dangerous.
Similarly there is obvious evidence there that a Cup QF draws big crowds to CoMS.
I don't agree with people slgging the club though, it would have been a real risk to simply open the entire ground and risk a 20k turn out as has been the case so far this season. I can understand exactly why the club took the decision it did and whether we agree or not, to label it a "fuck up" etc is simply ignorant.
